Yes it is one million percent fair that you chose to keep her when she has no job to do. Life of luxury for horse I think,regardless of sweetitch! I would not consider selling or giving away though if she is un rideable would rather PTS. You are a very kind person to continue to keep such a...

Yes, I think your right on this one, though some tribes people have small ponies like Mongolians and Icelandic ponies though they are still probably a stocky 13hh high. In America they have smaller ones breed Pony of the Americas. Generelly though in Arabic countries, horses are usually 14.2 hh...

I advise that it is a very good idea letting your daughter have your horse Velvet Who cares what others think, riding should be fun and definately safe where our children are concerned. My daughter who is slightly older is very much the same, she rides on accassion my 3 year old 15hh horse and...

Hi, If anybody is interested just PM me details.

lol, I know, the mother already has 5 horses of her own and takes the daughter riding lessons so daughter has to go without one

No, he can be moved, I am in Staffordshire.

Hi, Thought I would try here, am not really advertising as there is no cost Anyway have a full up 12.2hh grey reg Welsh pony, nearly 4.Fab to do,kind no vices or ailments, basically I rescued this pony from a bad situation hes now a little chunk Ridden on leadrein by yard owners 3 year old girl...

My daughters first day at high school today, was not thinking about my age though, just a feeling of doom worrying that she will be ok

Lol, that does sound an economical option

Yes, that is fair enough, because that is what you wanted, but I believe horses and ponies are different, and they have to be as versatile in their ways as their riders. I could not possibly class a happy, confident pony as an abuse case(not suggesting you are either) I think everybody should...

My opinion is, the pony looks happy, fat, groomed and loved. Looks what I call play riding, toddling about on him, literally like you would take a dog for a walk. Anyhow I ride my 3 year old horse, so would not criticise this. The pony to me is not doing any form of work, would much rather...

Of course not, but I was just thinking what may look more matched thats all I ride horses all different heights,its my job. I just feel, I look best on around 15hh for my height. I look like a flapping pony clubber on 17.2 hh horses, specially chunky ones

14.2-15.2 hh. I am same height, of course weight comes into these things also, but as a general rule this height would be most suitable.

Yes, I realise for owners this is alarming if they have not come across it before. First thought is its strangles and then worrying about yard gossip Have encountered strangles a good few times working on dealers yards, etc. Very unpleasant and your horse would be in pain. These lumps are...

Hi, there is no maximum height your pony should jump, it all depends on what pony is capable and confident of jumping and if you are secure in the saddle and confident to jump him. I have had 14 hh ponys clear 4 foot courses, some will do 5 feet, though this is rare. Would say average would be...
